26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Colour Explosions

This week's prompt was Colour Explosions and as I had just done a black, white and red fanbrush mani I thought that would make a good base to add yellow, green and blue.
I used the splashes of paint image on Lina Make Your Mark 03 with Colour Alike Cobalt Kick, Colour Alike Yellow Glow and Colour Alike Green Light.
I liked it but I did think it needed a bit more colour so I added a second layer with parts of the same image and Colour Alike Fuschsia Flash.
Finally I added a matte topcoat although I think the glossy finish was my favourite.

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Red, Yellow and Green Chevrons

This weeks colour prompt for 40 Great Nail Art Ideas was red, yellow and green and my pattern prompt was chevrons.
I decided to go for a red and green gradient and stamp yellow chevrons. I used Pet'la Plate Basics with Colour Alike Yellow Glow over A England Perceval and Bear Pawlish Scar.
They were seriously bright but I was really pleased with them - except that my middle 2 nails were very slightly too long for the stamped image - don't look too closely!

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Lemon or Peach - Camouflage

This week's colour prompt was Lemon or Peach - I interpreted that to be a choice although I have seen a lovely mani using both so maybe we were supposed to use both.
Anyway, I had two new yellows to use so I went with lemon. My pattern prompt was camouflage so I used Vivid Lacquer VL010 which has a great camo image on it.
I started with a base of Itsy Nails Mellow Yellow, a gorgeous creamy yellow which is perhaps more banana than lemon. Application and coverage was brilliant, I was a bit wary as pale colours can go a bit streaky but this one is perfect!
Then I stamped with one of Colour Alike's new neon polishes - Yellow Glow. This is very neon, not picked up that well by the camera but believe me, it is neon!
